Family
Our Oktoberfest
Since I learned that my grandson will be moving soon, it seemed necessary to have my family over before he leaves. Not only that, both my son’s birthdays are coming up, so we had much to celebrate. After talking about what kind of food to have, we decided on German. It was somewhat surprising since […]
Parent’s Past
My sister came today for the weekend. She is helping to sort some of my parent’s memorabilia. She worked with both my mom and my dad as they each created a beautiful genealogy scrapbook. The books are an incredible resource of historical articles and photographs that date back even centuries. Today we looked through a […]
Sneak Peeks
Over the past couple of days, my son and his new wife have been sharing sneak peeks of their wedding photos and a super sweet video. I’m crying all over again, feeling so blessed and happy for them. I Found God today in the blessing of my son’s wedding.
Happy Dance
I was blessed to spend another beautiful day in nature at the cabin. It seemed like every time I went outside there were more and more aspen leaves turning from their summer green to their autumn yellow. My brother, his dog, and I took a long walk. He showed me a quiet little spot off […]
Aunt’s Recovery
Today I called my aunt as I haven’t spoken to her for a while. The first thing she said was that she was thinking about me as she was falling asleep last night. She told me that she had a stroke at the end of June. She was in the hospital for about a week, […]
Safety, Trust, and Beauty
Yesterday I took a drive up to the cabin. The weather was just perfect – sunshine, blue skies, and some of the leaves on the Aspen trees were just starting to change. I took my time getting things ready as I planned on staying a couple of days. By the time I left, it was […]
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Race Team Dream
I printed some photos of the wedding and put them in a little book to show them to people. I figured it was easier than passing my phone around. As I was showing them to some friends today, we talked about my grandchildren and what they were doing. I shared that my older grandson had […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
The Wedding
It has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy during the past several days as we celebrated my younger son’s wedding. The day before the wedding, my daughter in law’s mother hosted an intimate shower and tea. I was grateful to meet many of the ladies in the family, including the grandmother who I heard […]
